@yashar BREAKING
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions.
The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.
The vote to approve the statement was very close to unanimous: 216 votes in favor, 5 votes against, and 3 abstentions

Then let them guarantee any and all expenses associated with illegals. By
Does that include opening the borders to Vatican City?
The article doesn’t say.
If the bishops want open borders for everyone except the Vatican, they’re hypocrites.
My thoughts exactly.
Maybe they want it open for the undocumented children they can skim off.
That’s because Catholic charities was making billions from the government to encourage them to help illegals across the border
Promoting a felony and enabling the drug and human trafficking. Arrest for RICO violation
That church was making millions from human trafficking.
Comments BUMP!
But of course they do, most of those coming across the border to suck on the taxpayer’s teat are of the Catholic faith and the church wants them in so their offering plates are full. Here’s a thought, let’s go back to when immigrants, the legal kind, were the only ones acceptable and they had to have a sponsor that was absolutely financially responsible. Absolutely financially responsible means housing, food, clothing, medical….everything, just like when my parents legally immigrated. If the Catholic Church wants to ‘sponsor’ legal immigrants under those rules okay. As far as their demand for open borders, screw em! Why do they think the Vatican should be the only ones with walls to keep people out?
Literally how is this a religious issue? They have a vote like any other US citizen, ALSO some are not US citizens and again should have no input AT ALL in this issue!
Much of the Catholic leadership is infected with Liberation theology. Their Marxist paradise would only bring suffering to the world.
Being poor does not make you inherently virtuous nor inherently entitled to others wealth. Consider Abraham, Joseph, David and others in the Bible who were immensely wealthy.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
This has been true for decades. Since most of the illegals are Catholic, they support the invasion of our country and should be considered as enemies of the people.
And they are run by left wing lunatics.
Open the Vatican first. Then we can talk.

Yep. I have mentioned this before. Awhile back I did a rough calculation. Based on its size, Vatican City can easily take in 2500 migrants. And of course the Church has the money to feed, clothe, and house them all.
How many immigrants has the Vatican taken in?
I’m guessing the number is around zero.
🤔
What you said!
Can’t wait to read the infamous claim that this has been “believed by everyone everywhere” by roman catholicism. Rome has abused that false claim to drive many of its false dogmas.
Has the Vatican torn down that wall, yet?
I didn’t think so.
Send all illegal immigrants there.
